AMD A8 7650K Overclocking Limits

[kshimoa]

I want to know the limits of my AMD A8 7650K APU with only stock cpu fan and Power supply (600watts)
Currently i have this settings on my BIOS and i tried it.
CPU: 3.3Ghz (Untouched)
GPU: 2GB DDR3 900MHZ (Overclocked) Default is 720Mhz
RAM : 8GB Kingston DDR3 1866Mhz (Overclocked) Default is 1600Mhz
MOBO : MSi A68HM - E33V2
FAN Speed : 2400RPM (Tweaked) Default is 1900RPM
My temp is 50 - 53 degreees Flat.
Thanks for the answer :3

Probably not much using the stock cooler. If 50-53C is your load temps, you might get another 10MHz or so out of it before temps get too hot. But your other problem will be the motherboard. With its lack of VRM heat sinks and low power phases, it will probably throttle before you get any appreciable OC obtained.

Where do you feel you need the improvement? A gfx card upgrade may give you more performance boost than a CPU OC. What card do you have now? Or are you using the iGPU.

Im planning to buy GTX 750Ti soon. Btw i tried Overclocking my Memory Module on 2133Mhz and i got blackscreen instead so i am asking the others for info about GTX750Ti having only a stock
600Watt PSU as a power supply and of course the videocard is a 4pin type. What do you think of it?

The GTX 750 Ti will run on any good quality 300W PSU. Basically, your PSU's +12v rail needs to be good for ~20a or 240W. So check your PSU's nameplate and see what it specs out the +12v rail at.
Of course, if you plan on doing any CPU, GPU, or memory OC'ing, you'll need more capacity on the +12v rail than that.
